Physical Effects of Frequent Extra Heartbeats
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how extra heartbeats (called premature ventricular complexes or PVCs) affect physical abilities. It compares people with troublesome PVCs to healthy volunteers to understand the impact on daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You have extra heartbeats (PVCs) that cause symptoms and haven't gotten better with at least one medication.
- A 24-hour monitor shows PVCs are at least 10% of your total heartbeats.
- You are generally able to walk and move around to take part in study tests.
- You agree to join the study and sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two treatments for people with frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs): a procedure called catheter ablation or medications. It aims to find which works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether the medication flecainide can reduce frequent extra heartbeats (called PVCs) that come from normal heart tissue, and may help prevent or reverse heart muscle problems caused by these extra beats.
This trial tests whether a gentle nerve-stimulation device worn on the ear can reduce dangerous heart-rhythm problems. There are two groups: one for people with frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs) and one for people with a defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a more serious rhythm problem (VT).
This study looks at the serious risks of a procedure that treats irregular heartbeats. It aims to understand how often complications happen and what they are, which can help doctors improve safety.
This study looks at when a cardiac MRI is most useful for people with extra heartbeats called premature ventricular complexes. It helps doctors understand if the MRI gives them important information beyond standard heart tests.
This trial tests a non-surgery treatment (using a skin patch) for people who have frequent extra heartbeats coming from the heart’s lower chambers. It’s meant to see whether the patch reduces symptoms or abnormal heart rhythm compared with usual care.
